Footage circulating on social media platforms including TikTok and Instagram has reignited speculation over a rumoured romance between Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé and Spanish actress Ester Expósito, following what appears to be a series of public outings in Paris and Madrid.
The latest viral clips were shared by French paparazzi Taieb Gedeon on social media, showing the pair appearing close during a night out in the French capital. However, the sightings are not entirely new — the footage appears to recirculate or relate to an earlier encounter that was first documented by Spanish media in March.
According to the SEMANA magazine March 11, 2026 issue, exclusive photographs on page 4 showed the Real Madrid forward and the Netflix star at a bowling alley in Paris following an expensive dinner. The publication described the pair as “having a very fun time, oblivious to everything and unconcerned about the stares of curious onlookers who might recognize them.”
Since those initial Paris sightings in early March, the two have reportedly been seen together on multiple occasions in Madrid. Among the documented encounters, the pair were reportedly seen sharing a tender kiss inside a car before driving through the city and passing near the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in early April. Additional reported sightings include dinners, attendance at matches — including the Madrid derby — a visit to the Bernabéu for the Real Madrid vs Girona fixture, and moments captured leaving hotels together.
Expósito, 26, is best known internationally for her role in the hit Netflix series Elite. She has faced direct questions about the rumoured relationship but has reportedly kept her responses light or evasive. Mbappé, 27, has remained characteristically private on personal matters and has not addressed the speculation publicly.
Neither party has officially confirmed nor denied a romantic relationship. The repeated public appearances across two major European capitals, spanning bowling alleys, restaurants, football stadiums, and shared car rides, have nonetheless drawn sustained attention from fans and media outlets.
Mbappé joined Real Madrid ahead of the 2024-25 season after ending his long stint at Paris Saint-Germain. His personal life has drawn significant media interest in the past, and the latest round of speculation marks another high-profile chapter in that regard. Expósito, meanwhile, is one of the most prominent young actresses in Spanish-language entertainment, having gained international recognition through Elite since its debut in 2018.
The story continues to develop, with sources suggesting further public appearances between the pair are likely to draw similar media scrutiny in the weeks ahead.
